Personal
I am passionate about agriculture and youth empowerment in Africa.I am working on projects that involve the youth in order to make them know that they can do better to make this continent a better place for all,because a continent where most people lack access to basic goods and services is a continent that does not work for any of us.I am commitment to empowering the youth to use their knowledge, innovations and skills for the betterment of society.
